My daughter is 9 and has been doing gymnastics at the Beenleigh PCYC for around 2 years. Unfortunately her coach moved to Sydney and the new coach is scaling down and will not be doing competitive training.Emma wants to be an olympic gymnast and absolutely loves gymnastics. We live in the Beenleigh area and I would like to find out where I could take her that would be consistant with experienced coaches.
I would very much appreciate if you would call me on 0418728920 after 5pm any day or email. (I cannot answer my phone at work).
Thank you.

She may go on to win at national competitions, but I know the girls in WA the cut off age for IDP levels 5 up is already quite young so…
